Hamam Museum (Naib Hamamı)
Naib Hamamı Müzesi
An Ottoman bathhouse at the foot of the castle, converted into a museum that uses wax figures to recreate the traditional Turkish bath ritual.
Built in the 18th century on the north side of the castle, the Naib Hamam has been restored as a bathhouse museum. Its domed hall, hot and cold baths, and changing rooms have been preserved. Mannequins and props recreate the steps of the traditional Turkish bath and customs such as pre-wedding bathing, and displays include bath towels, wooden clogs, and copper bathing bowls. A visit takes about 30 minutes, and it can be combined with the castle and the culinary museum. Those who want to experience a Turkish bath firsthand can visit a bathhouse still operating in the old town.
